For what it's worth, we brought in 380 tapes with our library two years ago. They were all Fuji tapes. We haven't had any problems with them that couldn't be traced back to drive or drive firmware issues.
Tom Kauffman NIBCO, Inc -----Original Message----- From: Mark Ferraretto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 11:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Non-IBM LTO tapes in a 3584 All, We're looking at purchasing extra LTO-1 tapes to go in our 3584. To date, we've been running IBM tapes but we've gotten cheaper prices on HP and Imation tapes. Both HP and Imation are priced about 30% less than the IBM tapes. But I'm wondering if there are any quality issues with either of these brands. Also, I'm wondering if running non-IBM tapes in a 3584 might raise any issues. Can anyone help?
